Stop Going to the Salon: Try Almond Metallic Finger Chrome French Tip Nails Instead

I loved these. Proper loved them. They’re flashy without being try-hard. I tried the Almond Metallic Finger Chrome French Tip Nails and my hands felt instantly glam. The almond shape is so flattering. The chrome tips are stunning. I reckon they make even my worst manicure week look thought-out.

Big win: Handmade in Australia. That’s a huge plus for me. Feels like someone actually cared about the finish. They look like you paid for a salon set, but without the price hike or the two-hour sit down. Apply ’em neat and they sit like pro gel.

Real Talk

These are false nails — not polish. They come pre-shaped with a chrome French tip that catches the light in the nicest way. Fit was true to size for me. The finish is glossy and dense. Compared to a salon? If you prep your nails properly and take your time gluing, they look salon-grade. Better value, faster, and less chat about your ex in the waiting room.

• Pro: Instant glam. Pics-ready in 15–25 minutes.
• Pro: Flattering almond shape. Feels natural.
• Pro: Lasts around 10–14 days with normal wear.
• Pro: Handmade in Australia — love supporting local.
• Con: Needs careful removal. Don’t rip them off.
• Con: Chrome tips can show tiny scratches if you’re rough with tools.
• Con: Heavier than a thin press-on if you pick longer lengths.

One tiny nitpick: if you’re rubbish at prep (cuticle oil, not filing down the natural nail properly), you’ll get lifting. That’s on me, not the nails. Also, if you’re the type to shove your hands in the dishwasher every night, expect shorter wear. For drinks, dates, gigs and photos? Absolutely ace.

If you want the exact set I used, here’s the link again: Almond Metallic Finger Chrome French Tip Nails. Reckon they’re worth the 49.95. I’d buy again.

FAQ

How long does it last?
With proper prep and glue, expect roughly 10–14 days of solid wear. If you baby them, they can last longer. If you’re rough, they’ll lift sooner.

Is it waterproof?
Yep — they handle normal washing and showers fine. Long, hot soaks and constant dishwashing will weaken the glue over time. Dry properly and avoid soaking for best results.
